Healthy, gluten free, high protein and calorie conscious creations

If you think dieting means eating cod and salad every day then you sure are wrong my friend. I just had a whole pizza for dinner. Yes, this is a pizza that is actually good for you and no, you’re not cheating. 😀 It’s low calorie and high protein so you can have the whole pizza without any guilt feels at all. crispy and filling that leaves you satisfied for only 195 calories and can easily be done for a vegan too (it’s 140 calories if you sub the egg for the flax eggs). Doesn’t it sound like every dieters dream?

Blend the yeast with the water and set aside. Blend the psylium seeds with a splash of almond milk and set aside. In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients and add the cauliflower and the egg. Stir in the seeds and the yeast. Feel free to add more gluten free flour if the dough is to dry! Cover the bowl with a towel. Let rest for at least half an hour in a warm and dark place. I use my dryer for this and I’m not even kidding you.

Meanwhile, heat up your oven to 400 F or 200 C and prep all your toppings. Once the dough is done resting, press it in a rounded baking pan (about 10 inch or 27 cm) and bake in the oven until crispy and golden brown (10-20 min). Lastly, add all your toppings and bake it in the oven until all the toppings are done!

It’s quite no big deal that a soup turns out pretty low on calories since it’s often only based on veggies, broth and water. However, I happen to find most diet soups really unpleasant. Yeah, they’re fairly easy to make and they can be bold on flavors but seriously – some soups are just a mushy disaster that fills you up temporary and then leaves you like craving for more.

Well, a meal like that won’t do in my kitchen. Although, yesterday I was really stressed and wanted a meal that doesn’t require much prep work nor time. I put together some ingredients I found in my fridge (that’s best way to cook a soup in my opinon) and the outcome was a healthy and filling soup that was pretty low on calories but yet hearty. I really enjoyed it and I’m sure it will appear on my kitchen table again soon!

Chop the garlic and onion and cook them in a large greased pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally. As soon as they start to brown; add the stock cubes and the water. Stir until combined and chop the broccoli and tofu into fairly small pieces. Put the the peas, beans, tofu, broccoli, yeast, vinegar and lastly the spinach in your pot, cover and cook over medium heat until the broccoli’s tender or about 5 minutes. Transfer to a blender, add the quark and process until smooth. Season with fresh chives and salt and pepper and serve with fresh dill and quark.

WELCOME! I’m glad to see you!

Looking back food has always played a huge part in my life. As a kid I cooked along with the TV cooks and later on I started to cook for my family on a daily basis. Practically, the only thing I prefer over cooking and baking is eating. However, ever since I've lost 80 pounds my one true passion has been to create healthy food that won't make you barf. This ain't some ordinary food blog where you gain weight just by reading the recipes and looking at the pictures; my goal is to create satisfying and calorie conscious recipes that are packed with flavor and makes dieting much easier.
